I saw one of these on display at Louis & Company in Grand Prarie, TX. Wanted one ever since. Hopefully this summer I can afford it. I'm not old, but at 58, I have a hard time with some sheet stock (too many injuries from being a hero in my youth). Take a look at this and see if it would work for you.
Forgot to add that it is balanced so that the sheets can be tilted to level so that they can be moved easily onto a saw or assembly table.

Here's your chance at fame - design one that folds flat when not in use!

This one works for me:

Very slick Morris. One nice thing is, you can custom size it, with no loss of versitility, taking up even less space in a smaller shop. Only thing, then you'd lose some potential workbench space.
Now you just need to paint it, or soak it in Diesel fuel, to keep the carpenter bees away. LOL

Great minds think alike. :-D
Since those pix were taken, I added three coats of spar varnish and occasional coats of Johnson's floor wax. The varnish was mostly for looks and the wax makes easy removal of glue and overspray. It's been a handy little gizmo.
Back when I built it, commercial panel-handling carts were running well over $500, so I figure my $30 was well-spent. :-)

If I can find the time I just might do that. But not for fame.......for me. :-) Here's my homemade scaffold:

Woodstuff,
Look around in magazine indexes. Swore I saw something similar in either Am. Woodworker, Shop Notes (most likely), or even Fine Woodworking, about 2 or 3 years ago.
The one Morris Dovey did is a great one tho!
A couple of issues ago Am. Woodworker had a rolling sheet goods cart. I'm halfway thru building mine. Doesn't tilt, but you might be able to figure some modification.

I will look for what you mentioned. I built one 15 years ago but is was just flat and got in my way mostly. Do you have the link for Morris Dovey's, as I didn't get his post.
Thanks, woodstuff
What was Morris's link? I didn't see his post on my reader.
Thanks, woodstuff
